Create an Account Exclusively for Your Bills
If your company pays direct deposit, create an account just for your bills. Leave in the account the amount of money you need just for bills. Online payment stops you or your husband from paying a bill twice. Paying your bills twice can result in your account being overdrawn and you having to pay an overdraft fee. The only negative aspect is that your information is online, however most banks have a secure site where information is not given out to anyone.
